I am a newbie in Linux.

I am very frustrated triying to compile Lazarus in Puppy Linux 4.2.1

Why Lazarus do not have a REAL INSTALLER, with ALL STUFF INCLUDED?????

Is so simple to install it in Windows!!

use a distro which support packages. There are at least .deb and .rpm,
where you can install lazarus on debian or fedora

QuoteWhy Lazarus do not have a REAL INSTALLER, with ALL STUFF

repository. So it's a waste of space if the installer also includes
them.
QuoteIs so simple to install it in Windows!!Windows have all libraries
used by Lazarus preinstalled, because they're native (otherwise,
you'll be back to old DOS). Linux don't have native GUI libraries, and
you're free to choose which one to use since Lazarus not only supports
one or two.
